REAL, Manuel Luís. The presúria of “Uilla Coua” and the origins of the Monastery of Lorvão: documents 19 and 47 of the Liber Testamentorum and the contribution of archaeology. Medievalista [online]. 2022, n.32, pp.43-103.  Epub 31-Dez-2022. ISSN 1646-740X.  https://doi.org/10.4000/medievalista.5635.

Taking documents 19 and 47 as a starting point, other information from Lorvão’s cartulary is analysed, as well as certain silences and falsified data. Based on the suggestion that there is a complementarity between registers 19 and 33, it is concluded that the (re)founder of the monastery was the rebellious prince Bermudo Ordonhes. Both the Asturian type of the east end of the high-medieval basilica, discovered in 1984, and the style of the only surviving sculptural frieze, reminiscent of the art found in the diocese of Coimbra during the 9th century and early 10th century, contribute to support this proposal.
